Chapter 927: Declaring War on the Three Realms, Either Retreat or Die!

Between heaven and earth, ten gates stood guard; looking closely, the ancient characters upon the formations loomed grim and severe, the first bearing the inscription "Heavenly Destruction Formation," the second "Earthly Fury Formation," the third "Roaring Wind Formation," the fourth "Frigid Ice Formation," the fifth "Golden Light Formation," the sixth "Blood Melting Formation," the seventh "Fiery Flame Formation," the eighth "Soul Dropping Formation"], the ninth "Red Water Formation," and the tenth "Red Sand Formation."

The assembly of immortals looked down from high above the clouds, watching the green-faced, middle-aged man, treading upon a pair of black dragons, lead several generals into the Heavenly Destruction Formation: "I am the Spiritual General of the East, Lord of the Malicious Dragon! Summon that demonic monkey at once, or else I shall first shatter this dog-shit Heavenly Destruction Formation of yours and annihilate every mortal within your shop!"

With a furious roar, he plunged into the formation, and the world abruptly transformed; the sight before his eyes instantly struck terror into the heart!

Chaos engulfed the heaven and earth ahead, as if the primordial universe had just been born, devoid of sun or moon, across ten thousand miles of land, leaving nothing but a bleak and desolate gloom!

Thunder clapped and shook the world!

A solitary stairway suspended in the void reached endlessly upward, leading straight into the heavens!

Beneath his feet lay the vast primordial wilderness, where rivers of fire surged and bottomless abysses carved crisscrossing chasms!

High in the distant sky, looking like a heavenly terrace of the nine heavens suspended in midair, a Daoist sat cross-legged, fingers pinched in a Daoist sign, embodying the very image of the world's creation!

Suddenly, the Daoist snapped his eyes open, and thunderous lightning violently shattered the heavens!

The immortal soldiers trailing behind the Lord of the Malicious Dragon were reduced to fine dust in an instant!

Just as it is said: Heaven, Earth, and Man are thrown into reverse; the mystery within mysteries is harder still to fathom! Should immortals encounter the Heavenly Destruction Formation, their limbs and bodies turn to ash in a flash.

The Lord of the Malicious Dragon and the heavenly spiritual generals showed faces of sheer horror, exerting all their might to resist, but where the world's lightning swept, a miserable shriek echoed amidst the roaring thunder as two true immortal generals behind him were struck by the lightning strike, half of their bodies instantly shattered into dust while the remaining half, with split galls and shattered livers, looked over in terror.

Every single spiritual general felt their hair stand on end in an instant!

One must know that within these Ten Absolute Formations, even Chi Jingzi of the Twelve Golden Immortals had his soul scared out of his wits, losing even the Taiji Diagram borrowed from Laozi within the formation, escaping in sheer panic, nearly meeting a violent death!

In barely the time it takes an incense stick to burn, several figures could be seen scrambling and crawling, competing to escape the formation; where now was the arrogant and overbearing display of the spiritual generals from the four directions?!

Behind one man, thunder roared through the heavens, and his immortal body burst apart on the spot!

Another was covered entirely in red water, and upon exiting the formation, his entire being dissolved into pus and blood, splashing in a puddle outside!

Behind another, a wisp of divine fire caught hold, and the moment he cleared the formation, it erupted toward the sky, instantly consuming him in flames; this fire was a combination of the Samadhi Fire, the Fire of the Sky, and the Fire of the Stone, three fires merged into a single breath of True Samadhi Fire, which even the body of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven could scarcely endure, let alone an ordinary immortal!

In the blink of an eye, he turned to flying ash!

"Stop!"

"Wretch! How dare you?!"

From the sky, a chorus of angry rebukes and curses instantly rang out, desiring to strike, but how could there be time left now?!

The spiritual generals who entered the formation met their fatal tribulation; three died horribly upon exiting, while not a single one of the others survived, all perishing within the formation!

At this moment, the complexions of all the immortals from the Eight Great Clans changed instantly.

"What kind of... evil formation is this?! Who on earth are you?!" Venerable Supreme Master Miaofa demanded in a trembling voice.

Lord Qin emerged from the formation and sneered, "I told you before, I am a Qi cultivator from the Golden Island of Ao."

"Does anyone else care to experience our formations?!"

"Do not be insolent!" The middle-aged man in a greyish-white robe beside Venerable Supreme Master Miaofa sneered, "Do you think the spiritual generals of our clans are yours to slaughter at will?"

"Every spiritual general has a Soul-Binding Lamp placed within their respective clans," he said coldly. "As long as the soul lamp is not extinguished, they remain immortal through ten thousand tribulations!"

He pulled out a jasper banner from his sleeve, and with a shake of the banner, he cried, "Return, immortal souls!"

Wild winds howled between heaven and earth, and several souls drifted gracefully out of the formation, heading straight toward the jade banner.

But right at that moment...

The Investiture of the Gods list once again lit up in the eastern sky.

All the souls instantly lost control, hurtling straight toward the Investiture of the Gods list!

The jasper banner actually failed on the spot!

"The Investiture of the Gods?!"

"It's the Investiture of the Gods!" Everyone inside the shop cried out in immense excitement.

Fang Qi looked up at the sky and spoke, "Now, whatever skills you have left, bring them on!"

"Vile creature!" Venerable Supreme Master Miaofa trembled with rage, "Even if your abilities reach the heavens, you will not be allowed to run wild today!"

"Fellow immortal friends, is there a way to break this formation?" He scanned the crowd, only to find everyone wearing expressions of shock.

No one could have imagined that against the Eight Great Immortal Clans, the valiant spiritual generals, and a host of talented and extraordinary individuals, this formation would stand before them like a celestial chasm, rendering them unable to advance a single step!

"Stay here and take your time breaking the formation!"

Just then, Fang Qi suddenly heard the familiar prompt from the system panel once more.

......

Fang Qi turned and walked back into the shop, a murderous aura surging on his face: "All cultivators and warriors proficient in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, follow me!"

At this very moment, beyond the sea of Half-City, lay the Yellow Springs Sea.

Earth-shattering demonic waves surged as incredibly terrifying behemoths revealed their horrific visages from the darkness.

Countless cold, sinister eyes peered out from the demonic mist, revealing a colossal shadow.

In its depths, countless pitch-black tentacles reached deep into the ocean; that horrifying shadow slowly emerged from the endless seabed, out of the abyss-like, pitch-black sea!

No one dared imagine how gargantuan and terrible the monster rising from the abyssal seabed truly was; accompanied by an endless, billowing aura of ghostly malice, the seawater kicked up giant waves, crashing onto the shore, and the massive spiritual shield of Half-City was... shattered almost instantly!

But right at that moment, a figure clad in silver armor and wielding a three-pointed, double-edged spear stood atop the raging waves, drawing himself up to his full height against the pouring billows, blocking the overwhelming horde of demons spanning the horizon all by himself!

"That is..."

The divine eye between his brows snapped open, shooting forth a beam of golden light!

Channeling the Eight-Nine Mysteries, his head and feet expanded; in an instant, his head touched the sky and his feet trod the earth, a giant god standing proud in the world, holding back a million demons alone!

"That is...?!" On the coast, countless cultivators and warriors gathered, their gasps of astonishment roaring like thunder.

"True Lord Erlang! That is True Lord Erlang!"

Meanwhile, where the God Realm descended, ten thousand rays of light shone in harmony, wind and thunder abruptly clashed, and a blanket of golden clouds spanning the sky rolled directly toward Canglan City.

Right at that moment...

Cyan, yellow, red, white, and black—five-colored brilliance soared into the sky ahead, shaking the heavens and the earth!

"Who dares block the path of the gods?!"

"A supreme treasure is born; those who block us shall die!"

Only a voice was heard laughing loudly, "Born when chaos first divided, I seek the Taiji of the Two Modes at will; now having understood the principles of life and growth, I do not travel the wondrous paths of the Three Vehicles."

"I am Kong Xuan!"

On this day, three armies were completely blocked!

Above the sky, a sudden clap of thunder erupted: "Today, this shop declares war on the three realms of Immals, Gods, and Demons! Those who disrupt the business of this shop, either retreat, or—die!"

"Declaring war on the three realms simultaneously? Ignorant mortal, who gave you the audacity?!"

"You court death!"

At this very moment, high above the Sublime Celestial of Divine Law, the host of immortals also bellowed in thunderous fury, "Ignorant ant! To dare flagrant insolence merely for obtaining a singular, exotic treasure! Once I have wrested this artifact from your grasp, I shall surely grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes to the wind!"
